Influenza A virus hemagglutinin glycosylation compensates for antibody escape fitness costs.

Influenza A virus hemagglutinin glycosylation compensates for antibody escape fitness costs.

Rapid antigenic evolution enables the persistence of seasonal influenza A and B viruses in human populations despite widespread herd immunity. Understanding viral mechanisms that enable antigenic evolution is critical for designing durable vaccines and therapeutics. Here, we utilize the primerID met...
